I really looked up to him, admire lots from a far. Most of the time, I do this for myself, then at times I do this so this person will continue to amaze me and touch my life w/o critizism. God must have needed another Angel and he got one when Jim left us for a better life... Thanks again for letting us share. Prayers continue as I know the emotions never stop.

We would usually all yell, Jimmers. He was always happy and would poke fun with us all the time. He was such a staple there and it is hard not seeing him there and his scooter parked outside. He called us his family and that made me feel so good. It amazed me how he would have a crash on his scooter and be hobbling into Starbucks soon after. We would pamper him until he was all healed. I will miss his updates on the Tigers. Rest in peace Jimmers. We already miss you dearly.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04067429473585031157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-86831082258822304442010-02-19T17:05:36.569-06:002010-02-19T17:05:36.569-06:00Thank you to everyone.

My mother, your cousin Nancy Traunero Kiser, died this past September, and I remember thinking that the only things that might possibly hurt worse would be losing a child or my husband. I can't imagine your pain, but do know how very, very deep pain can go. Please know that you will be in my thoughts and especially in my prayers in the days, weeks, months, and years to come.

Imagine that welcoming committee...Harry and Joanne, his grandparents, my mom and dad, Emma Cobb (Lynnette's mom and Joanne's best friend for years) Dave Wasem, Tom Bittner, just to name a few. <br /><br />I also knew he was smiling down at all the loving words of support that continue to flow to you from your friends and loved ones, both near and far.<br /><br />I'm sure Heaven has a great Starbucks and a perfect library, so Jim is back into his routine. We'll celebrate this loving gifted man because he'll always be with us! I suspect anytime any of us looks to be headed towards trouble, that little nudge we feel in the more appropriate direction will be Jimbo.Deb Fezzuogliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12897754964136012216noreply@blogger.com
